[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

[SpartanChief]

Well, up until soyuz cosmonauts would need to fit much smaller volume than today, so they were mostly average/below average at height and weight. So, I guess, stick arms up, exhale, push yourself forward and hope that last snack wasn't too much.

[Axl'Wolf'Lipid]

It seems to works.Thanks

[DGatsby]

TKS is shaping up nicely!

[Gojira]

I am unable to download this, could you perhaps get a link going for Dropbox or Mediafire or something along those lines? Google Drive isn't working for me.

[Beale]

Good. You might want to tweak range.

Time's up!

Yeah' date=' that is it. I am going on hiatus for a few days as I move to another country.

Thanks for all the support over the past few months! It has been an incredibly fun experience developing Tantares.

Wish I could finish the TKS beforehand, but not possible.

So here's the work so far.

You see two modules still I can't think of uses for.

Maybe if someone has a good (practical) suggestion I could make an allusion to their username in the texture

Yes!

Here is dropbox

hey Beale, best wishes for your moving!

two question: where are you going? and what do you think how long it could take? i dont want to miss one of my favorite modders fpr KSP for too long :3

[ste1701]

The TKS looks good!

Why don't you make a big crew container instead of two parts?

Are you also going to make the solar panels or it will use the Tantares one?

I hope you to understand I would not like to give information about online.

But I will say

• 1. The United Kindgsom
  
• 2. I will be out of action for around a week.
  

Alnair will be completed.

I'll try check these thread a little, help if people have issues / suggestions.

You're right, it could be 1 large piece (to be straight forward the less non-standard sized parts is better when I am not fully supporting them).

2 separate things could make the whole thing more general-use, but it is hard to find a purpose.

The FGB section of the ship should be capable of autonomous control.

It will use new solar panels, of the right size.

Body Section 1 = crew tank

Body Section 2 = Crew tank/Cargo hold/Science station

Body Section 3 = Command pod.

1 week only? okay we will survive this and ... oh my .. .i was not asking for your adress just the new counrty. best wishes from an other side of europe then

Good luck!

As per TKS:

Section 2 - Supply block. It should be a hollow structure with doors (in other words, cargo bay). Users could add any cargo they like (life support containers, KAS containers, RCS tanks, etc). That would allow TKS to be, well, supply craft.

Section 3 - Control\docking module. Contains pilot station (1 Kerbal), docking port (1.25m), reaction wheels, SAS and batteries.

And one question - where would be the OMS? Because on a real TKS, engines have a rather unusual placement:

OMS is a black things on the gold-colored section. The pilot station is in docking module, and the VA is actually aft section of the ship.

[ste1701]

If it isn't too difficult you could make two middle section: a lab and a cargo hold, so that people can personalize their ship for every mission.

For the aft section I agree with biohazard: it should be a command pod (maybe with a little window for docking)

[driftwood11]

Craft files?

OMS engines will be small radial ones, 30kn thrust each.

Good ideas, this is the plan now.

Craft files?

Check the first page .

[ZodiaK]

sounds good

[Beale]

So while playtesting on a Mac, I hit weirdness. The New Tantares Solar Panels seem to take the 1x3 layout.

They should not be like this, should be 1x4.

Can anyone else confirm?

[ZodiaK]

wow... that is... weird

[Darth Lazarus]

very weird ... i have the 1x4 panels. maybe you have the wrong partfiles in your Tanatres folder?

[Bioman222]

Where's the machine gun on the Salyut clone?

[MK3424]

Where's the machine gun on the Salyut clone?

You mean on the Almaz clones?

I dunno, i think he doesn't have it modeled (nor will it be).

Yep, There's a Gatling gun mod for that. I just do the civilian stuff.

[Darth Lazarus]

i found this:

there you can see good details about engines and other stuff of TKs and Saljut

[Floki]

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a cutaway of like that for Soviet spacecrafts before. Nice find.

[Kerbart]

Absolute delightfull package! I like the stock-feeling and the super small size. This gives everyone a wonderful small orbital shuttle vehicle. I like how you gave the parts a very Kerbalesque description as well.
